Calculate the torque which a shaft of 3 cm diameter can safely transmit, if the shear stress is 48 N/cm2.
Correct Answer: B — 81Ï€ Ncm
Explanation:
Concept: The torsion equation is given by: Where, T is the torque applied, J = polar moment of inertia, τ = shear strength of material, G = modulus of rigidity, θ = angular deflection of shaft (in radians). Calculation: τ = 48 N/cm2, d = 3 cm
